and Evolution

Fossils
across geological time presented in multiple contexts of geological
history, the tree of life, paleobiology and evolution. The Virtual
Fossil Museum is an educational resource providing an ever-growing
extensive collection of fossil images.

"There
is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having
been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that,
whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law
of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful
and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."

Last words of Origin of Species, 1st Edition, Charles Darwin
(1859)

"It
has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated
immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic
material."
